1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2020

I exported my kia Soul 2010 to germany due to military movement order. As the car is now registered in germany; I did not get any notifications from kia us about the recall sc098am regarding a problem with the brake light switch, rated as a safety issue. My german car dealer is trying to help me get the brake light switch changed, but is unable to get the necessary information from kia. Is there a possibility to assist me in getting the necessary work from a safety recall done in germany? thank you for your help.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2015

I was notified by another driver that none of my brake lights were lighting up when I braked. I immediately took my kia Soul to the dealership and they found a faulty brake switch. This was the same faulty brake switch that was subject to a recall in 2013. This means that the replaced new brake switch is also faulty after less than 2 years of driving. It is a worry to me that kia could be replacing a faulty recalled part with another faulty part, especially one that has major safety implications. I was also required to pay for this repair and this also seems unfair given the history of the particular part.
